Yuzu had the best results having Brian and Ghislaine as his coaches, but I can see at least three possible reasons for switching:so why change coach if these two already know each other well.
It all sounds reasonable. Still I think most probable is his announcement on skipping the GP season to concentrate on Japanese Nats and the Worlds. Might be accompanied by some statement clarifying his coaching situation which might go both ways really - either going back to Brian Orser or switching to someone in Japan.
It'll be happening at around 5 pm Japan time on Tuesday, July 19. It'll be around 1 am my time, so I'll probably be too sleepy to check my phone.Does anyone know what time the press conference will be happening? (local time, I can convert to my own time zone if necessary) I seem to have overlooked that bit of information if it was in the announcements I read.
I just want to be prepared for when to frantically check my phone
Thank you! About 6 am my time then… I’ll see if I can manage to be awake but I probably won’t beIt'll be happening at around 5 pm Japan time on Tuesday, July 19. It'll be around 1 am my time, so I'll probably be too sleepy to check my phone.
I just hope that whatever decision Yuzuru makes is the decision that is best for him.

I would like to understand Japanese, but this gives and impression of rather speculating than knowing anything more than us. I'm not denying that a retirement announcement is likely, rather that I doubt that this newspaper really knows it. If the announcement is something else, I hope people will remember their "prediction".Nikkansports says it's retirement... Seriously, if so, they shouldn't announce it before Yuzuru himself. If not, what the **** they are thinking about?
【フィギュア】羽生結弦引退 伝説残しプロ転向、アイスショー創設の夢も 19日会見で決意表明 - フィギュア : 日刊スポーツ
フィギュアスケート男子で冬季五輪2連覇の羽生結弦（27＝ANA）が、現役引退してプロ転向する意向を固めたことが18日、分かった。19日午後5時、都内ホテルで開… - 日刊スポーツ新聞社のニュースサイト、ニッカンスポーツ・コム（nikkansports.com）
But ain't it true that some two weeks ago he announced he was going to compete this season?
Well he might be retiring and this could just be an announcement that he is not competing the GP this season and will doing ice shows instead, and even if it is retirement he may change his mind closer to 2026. So lets see what he is going to say before commenting. Though the main reason he seemed to be staying in was to be the first man to land a QUAD AXEL and seeing Ilia do it with such ease may have been the main reason that he may be retiring because he may fell he can not compete with that.
